they have cooperated with israel to help enhance israel's security. and we have to be honest with ourselves that, right now, all of this needs our political and economic support to be sustainable. it also needs a political horizon. so particularly in light of today's announcement, let me reiterate that this administration -- like previous administrations -- has been very clear with israel that these activities set back the cause of a negotiated peace. we all need to work together to find a path forward in negotiations that can finally deliver on a two-state solution. that must remain our goal. and if and when the parties are ready to enter into direct negotiations to solve the conflict, president obama will be a full partner. now, some will say that, given the disappointments of the past and the uncertainties of today, now is not the time even to contemplate a return to serious negotiations, that it should be enough for israel just to muddle through dealing with whatever crisis arises. whatever crisis arises.
